Blackley joined CAA in 2003, and his hiring breathed considerable life into the 3-year-old division at the time given his extensive background in the console biz that was heating up and as a game developer. Since then, he’s helped lock down lucrative deals for clients, including a groundbreaking pact for Shinji Mikami and Goichi Suda to independently finance games such as their upcoming “Shadows of the Damned” that resembles how indie films are funded. He also led the deal for “Rock Band”-developer Harmonix Music Systems’ sale to Viacom.
